What will be an ideal response?
Answer: [key points to be made]
*Over one’s life a person changes in two ways: trajectories and transitions
*Trajectories are the different roles one assumes while aging, maturing, building bonds: being married, finishing college, getting a job, having children
*Transitions are critical events that shape one’s outlook such as war, death in the family, illness
*The more social capital (like bonds) one has the better one conforms and avoids deviance
*As people mature they take on less risk become more stable
*Crime involvement is a dynamic feature of one’s life, always changing
